Re: QNTC userid/password change?

Hi Tom,

Thanks! I'll give it a try when I have a moment or three. I think I read
about this awhile back when wondering how those QZDASOINIT jobs did  it.
Hmm. Are you saying that even though I release the profile handles, they are
not reused?

manuals cover most stuff. It is apparently possible to deplete the supply of
profile handles after many tens of thousands of swaps (have to check for
absolute details) but the risk is minimal and the supply is refreshed at
IPL. Very rare to hear about it.
